[iris-bulk] PQLX workshop in Boise Idaho

[IRIS]

The IRIS DMS will host a one day PQLX workshop on May 12, 2009 in  
Boise Idaho, just prior to the 2009 EarthScope National Meeting.


PQLX (PASSCAL Quick Look eXtended) is open-source software used to  
evaluate seismic station performance and data quality (see http://www.iris.edu/software/pqlx) 
. It is intended to give both a general and broad overview of station/ 
data quality as well as giving the user specific capabilities to  
determine when and where data quality issues arise. The software  
primarily consists of a server analysis program and client data  
visualizer, but also includes data extraction and migration tools.  
Given waveform data and instrument response files, the PQLX server  
computes trace statistics, Power Spectral Densities (PSD), and  
Probability Density Functions (PDF) and writes the results to a MySQL  
database for quick access by the client. PQLX is compatible with the  
Linux, Mac OSX, and Solaris operating systems. Supported waveform data  
formats are Mini-SEED, SAC, SEGY, AH, nano, and DR100; response files  
must be in SEED RESP file format.

This full-day workshop will provide a hand-on introduction to all  
aspects of the PQLX Seismological Analysis System. Participants are  
expected to bring a reasonably powerful laptop, one week to one  
month's worth of data for at least three channels qualifying for PSD  
analysis (e.g., BH*, LH*, etc.), and response files (format produced  
by program rdseed) for each PSD-qualifying channel.
